Young goalies live through huge swings: a shutout on Saturday, seven goals on Sunday. That is normal and says nothing about talent. What matters: is the rolling average climbing over the season? Are the bad games getting less bad? Are the "gift" goals (long shots, impossible angles to miss) becoming rare?
Three habits make tracking useful: measure every game with the same definitions, compare the goalie to themselves first (then to same-age goalies through percentiles), and present the numbers as encouragement, never as a trial. RinkLog charts all of it automatically, including heat maps showing where the goalie is improving.
RinkLog measures and computes all of this automatically during your hockey, ball hockey and ringette games.
